?How did Dugg Analytics relocate the sheet-tabs?

[#1]

Hello,

An end-user wants sheet-tabs relocated like in the Dugg Analytics demo.

?How did that demo enable such a shift of controls that seemingly can't be maneuvered?

I believe that is all handled using HTML and perhaps some more advanced web programming techniques. That app is basically a custom web page with QlikView elements embedded within. That is why it is only available in the AJAX format. It wouldn't work like that if it was opened within QlikView.

I thought this was mentioned in another thread, but I don't remember the exact details.

Oh, OK, so it's not really a true QlikView demo, since even people with the full QlikView licensing can't fully recreate it by QlikView alone.

Searching this site for Dugg yields nothing, digg demo yields 8 results mostly dealing with embedding hyperlinks.

?Is this something you can do in QlikView in v9, or is this only an ASP.NET project ?

That seems to be the case. I'll do a little searching and see if I can find the reference.

From what I have heard (been too lazy to upgrade) v9 doesn't have any monumental changes. There are some new features, but much of the core stays in place.

If you're looking to recreate the tabs in that app, you may be able to do something with buttons. Create a row of buttons and make them images that look like tabs. Put these on every sheet (in the same position). Then when the user clicks on a specific tab, show the sheet that corresponds to that tab and hide the others. Since you've added the tabs on every sheet, it will look like the tabs stay in place while the rest of the sheet changes.

OK, one of my workmates showed that you can emulate sheet-tabs with craftily-constructed buttons that activate a particular sheet, and you can place buttons anywhere.
